E-raamat: Ghost-Eye

This shape-shifting, time-stitching novel grants us special kinds of double-vision: across eras and between species. Under its spell, Amitav Ghosh helps us begin to live multiple lives - to become aware of the porosity and mystery of being, rather than of its fortifications and frontiers -- Robert Macfarlane, author of IS A RIVER ALIVE? Metempsychosis, reincarnation - Amitav Ghosh's Ghost-Eye challenges you to believe, and on the way engages you with a gripping story of youth and self-knowledge -- Abdulrazak Gurnah, winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature and author of THEFT and AFTERLIVES Ghost-Eye is a marvel that will ignite a reader's sense of wonder - a masterful novel, at once simple and capacious. Ghosh is one of our finest writers -- Rabih Alameddine, National Book Awardwinning author of THE TRUE TRUE STORY OF RAJA THE GULLIBLE (AND HIS MOTHER) Amitav Ghosh's intellectual panache and serene mastery of form make him one of the last great practitioners of the novel of ideas. Ghost-Eye is the most captivating expression yet of an imagination unfettered by the protocols of the liberal-humanist novel: a novel that explores the very real, if still oddly underexplored, world of the spirit that hundreds of millions of people inhabit simultaneously with its material counterpart -- Pankaj Mishra, author of THE WORLD AFTER GAZA and RUN AND HIDE Ghost-Eye is a brilliant return to Ghosh's speculative vein, haunting and liberating as it confronts hierarchies ancient and modern -- Siddhartha Deb, author of THE LIGHT AT THE END OF THE WORLD and TWILIGHT PRISONERS Amitav Ghosh has done more than any novelist to reimagine the role of fiction in our age of environmental emergency. In Ghost-Eye, he draws the reader from the world we know into a shadow realm of reincarnation and levitation, of talking trees and whispering spirits. Mournful and exhilarating -- Nathaniel Rich, author of CLOUDTHIEF and LOSING EARTH
